HTML Customization Guide - Page 2

From what I've seen it is just basic HTML and CSS. The beauty is that you can try anything and see what happens

. I hope Andreas clarifies a little more, though.

How sweet would it be to have a flash menu bar instead of the html one, though!

Oh, there are a lot of things which just doesn't work, and another bunch of things which don't work correctly. For example the border attribute doesn't exist for images and other tags. But OOTP will display the page even if you use it. Or if you want to nest elements like a complete table inside a ... block, it will not work. Often the automated calculation of table column width will not work so you have to set fixed width for columns using the width="..." attribute. And so on. Just try it out. And there are a bunch of templates and pages to learn from.

The link for the style sheet which contains notes is dead, fyi.

hmm, very strange. I searched my server, and, as expected, it's not there. I'll get it back up as soon as I can. Not sure what happened there. Thanks for the heads up.

Qrashman · 05-18-2007, 03:20 PM

Ok looking forward to seeing it.

Is it possible to move the links menu (sion home, standings, teams, players, etc.) on the header_wide page down about 20 pixels? The header graphic I created is 100 pixels in height. It comes out looking like this:

My guess is that you could add "absolute positioning" to the Menu in the CSS.

I know what folder you are speaking of, but I'm not sure what they are. They do not open as a traditional psd file into photoshop. Just a heads up.

There are a few strange layers within the .psd's but they open just fine in Photoshop on my end.

The style.css is still not accessible. Can grab the one for the example page easily but it's not commented up. Could you look into this again please? or possibly provide is as a zip and attach it here?

robster1225 · 06-18-2007, 05:06 PM

I'm very sorry about that.
The style.css disappeared off of my server, it could have been an error on my part, and now I can't find the darn thing on my hard drive. I guess I'll have to create a new one, which shouldn't be to hard. I'll let you know when I get it up, sorry about that.

That will not work with the in-game browser

Better use a transparent image as spacer. Like < img src="pixel.gif" height="80" > to make the upper row 80 pixel high. The background picture needs to be an HTML background picture of the table or row, otherwise you cannot place the pixel.gif on top of it, though.

Any word yet? (I'm not trying to sweat you, dude)

I'm trying to read the CSS on my own but I'm not getting very far.

Also, I like how you made the headers, in your HTML, twice as high. I think your version looks much better

JP Cooperstown · 03-27-2008, 06:48 PM

How does one edit the color underneath the top menu, where it says:

*League Name*
Home

With your league logo on the far right?

robster1225 · 03-27-2008, 07:19 PM

Man, it's been a long time since I've looked at these templates, but I'll try to dig and find out for you.

Also, I guess I never posted that I officially lost that CSS guide, and never had time to make another one.

Insomniac · 05-01-2008, 01:48 PM

I am hoping that someone can help me...

I am trying to edit the menu on the game-generated pages. I followed the steps in the document attached to this thread. I copied the main templates folder into my league.lg folder. I tried to edit the page_header_wide.tpl file. However, when I try to save it, I get an "access denied" error (using Dreamweaver) and the file disappears from my league.lg/templates folder. I then have to re-copy that file from the main templates folder and start over. No matter what, it is not letting me edit this file.

Any thoughts?

Is this a Windows error your getting?

And, if so, are you using Vista?

I am on Vista, but it appears to be a Dreamweaver issue. After posting my comments, I took a stab at it in Notepad and it worked fine. Not sure what the Dreamweaver issue is...but I made the changes I needed to.

Thanks, though...

Andreas Raht · 05-03-2008, 06:35 AM

You should not edit the tpl files with an HTML editor. I suggest using a text editor like notepad.exe or Ultraedit or any other simple text editor. HTML editors tend to add HTML code which then doesn't work with the OOTP in-game browser...

Insomniac · 05-05-2008, 09:09 AM

That explains the Dreamweaver issue, and in hindsight, makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the feedback.
